I just want to go home (rewrite 2)

my hair was black

and now it's gray

days of my youth

have long gone away

leaving me

out here alone

I just want to go home

my legs may be slow

and they still get around

but reasons for moving

don't seem to be found

leaving me

with a body of stone

I just want to go home

           days pass by

           in the blinking of an eye

           at my age they go so fast

           days pass by

           without reasons why

           until they become the past

my mind was active

my movements were swift

now thoughts of hope

are too heavy to lift

leaving me

with a future unknown

I just want to go home

where have I gone

where will I go

questions with answers

that I'll never know

leaving me

chilling me to the bone

I just want to go home
